U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a deal with Saudi Arabia that will provide the kingdom with a civilian nuclear program and could open the door to uranium enrichment on its soil. The Wall Street Journal reported this, citing administration officials who noted that the agreement will last 30 years and is estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars. According to the report, the deal is designed to give American companies a central role in developing nuclear infrastructure in Saudi Arabia while pushing out other foreign companies. A key provision in the agreement would allow American companies to establish a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia, provided that a joint U.S.-Saudi review indicates that such a step is justified.
